What a waste of money this is turning out to be. How do I stop the automatic installation of programs to the SSD?

Yes, I think so. Why won't things auto install to HDD?

Because they auto install to C: you doofus. Youre going to have to point it where to install every time now forever to get it to be anywhere else.

I was told it was best to install Windows 10 + GTX970 to one drive and then save everything else to another.

I only did it so I could finally mod Skyrim ffs.

You can change the default save location in the registry. This will break the programs installed under the original directory though. Google it you pleb

>>54865797
can't he just use symlinks to make it so programs and programsx86 to point to the hdd instead?

>>54865713
You joking? There's no way to change it at all?

SD drive sorry.

Comes up as SSD on File explorer.

>>
>>54865812
I'm not sure about windows 10 but the suggested install directory wouldn't change even if you link it like that.

I'm pretty sure that when you change the default directory while installing to somewhere out of the default it makes a link for you anyways.
>>
>>54865881
yeah but with the symlinking wouldn't the c:/programfiles actually reside on the hdd instead of the sdd? I thought that was kind of the point of symlinks

Isn't the whole point of an SSD so that your programs and OS launch faster?
>>
>>54865500
You can put the HDD above the SSD in drive manager so things will automatically go to the HDD and it will be first on the drop down menu.

Otherwise you just have to set the destination folder to something on your HDD.

You can actually change the Windows registry to set the default install location for Program Files and Program Files(x86).

My thought exactly... at least on every winblows I've used you could manually select where to install shit. But then it hit my Win10 might very well just say 'fuck you! I decide where your programs go!' because muh speed and easy use.
